 ROB JACOBS is a native Texan, born and raised in the Lone Star State. He was born in Galveston and has lived in San Antonio, El Paso, and for the most part, Houston. 

 

Rob started playing at the young age of 12 when he heard his next-door neighbors oldest son playing his guitar and asked if he could pick up his guitar and try it. The minute he hit his first chord, he immediately knew that this was what I wanted to do. Throughout high school he played in a band called Black Rose playing AC/DC, Eric Clapton, CS & N, as well as related bands of the era. During College, he played for a regional group called Sky King and played a little bit more AOR style of music that included Van Halen, J Geils, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles. In the early 80's, he joined a R & B Funk Band called named The Eastex Freeway Band, and he learned a whole new style of music, that opened him up to a whole new world of guitar styles including Jazz and Funk. During the 80s-90s, he played Top 40 Music in a band called Caption and enjoyed the experience of playing with some excellent musicians that played a variety of music which ranged from George Benson to Madonna.  In the late 90s, he joined a band called Just Got Lucky, and began his journey back to his roots and his early love of the Blues and Southern Rock Music. He has become known as a ferocious slide guitarist during this period and also has released his first CD- All Over Town. His musical roots include Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, George Benson, Jackson Browne, and the Eagles. Rob plays an Gibson Heritage SG- 61 Reissue Les Paul Guitar and a Classic Les Paul- Standard Gold Top   through Marshall Amplification.
